Merthyr Tydfil · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Merthyr Tydfil restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Merthyr Tydfil
Merthyr Tydfil fries across the iron town - the High Street and Victoria Street cooklines cook from open to close, and the Glebeland Street and Church Street kitchens run alongside.
The settings vary, the grease does not. Across Graham Way, Victoria Street and the suburban strips, the takeaways and grill houses run the single hardest test an extraction canopy faces. Merthyr Tydfil rates hundreds of food premises, most of them frying in a tight footprint.
We degrease the part of the system the Graham Way and Victoria Street cooks work under - the canopy, the baffle filters and the extractor fan. Done properly it pulls the way it was designed to, clearing heat and steam, holding a current TR19 Grease certificate, and running cooler, because a clean Merthyr Tydfil fan is not fighting a greased one to move the same air.
The system
Extraction cleaning is the accessible heart of the system - the kit above a hard-frying Graham Way cookline that does the work and shows the grease first.
We strip and degrease the canopy inside and out, clean or replace the baffle filters, and degrease the extractor fan and its housing - the part that quietly loses performance as grease loads the blades over a hard Victoria Street service. Cleaned to the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system pulls properly and your Merthyr Tydfil fire risk assessment and insurer have the record they ask for.
Filters
The standard for commercial cooklines: they trap grease and slow flame spread. Cleaned, or replaced when warped or corroded.
Common on older or lighter setups; they clog fast and pass grease through if neglected. We flag where a baffle upgrade is overdue.
On the odour and emission-controlled systems near Merthyr Tydfil's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Merthyr Tydfil cookline's extraction and its fire protection are one system - and a clean is the moment to check the join.
Nozzles aimed at the canopy and cooking points; grease build-up around them on a busy Graham Way line is exactly what they exist to fight. We clean around them without disturbing the system.
Where the gas shuts off if extraction fails on a Graham Way line, we work without tripping it - and flag it if it is not behaving.
Checked for the grease that would stop them closing - a quiet failure point on a Victoria Street system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Merthyr Tydfil
We are under Merthyr Tydfil's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A St Tydfil Shopping Centre food unit in Merthyr Tydfil had grease on the extract fan letting cooking smells drift into the mall. We degreased the fan blades and housing, rebalanced the impeller and restored the pull, clearing the smells and returning the air quality. The centre's facilities team signed the fire-safety record.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Merthyr Tydfil service.
With the canopy and fan clean, heat and steam clear off a hard Graham Way cookline faster, the kitchen runs cooler, and the fan works less to move the same air. Leave it greased and you have a fire risk, a failed inspection point and an uncomfortable kitchen together. Frequency follows the cooking load - the Victoria Street takeaways need it more often than a daytime cafe - and the certificate sets the next date.
Inspect the Merthyr Tydfil canopy, filters and fan, agree scope and frequency.

Questions
It depends how hard the kitchen runs. Under TR19 Grease, heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day points to roughly every three months, moderate to every six, light to every twelve. A busy Graham Way or Victoria Street kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
It can. An inspection covers the physical condition of the premises, ventilation included, so a grease-laden canopy or fan over a Pontmorlais cookline can count against your score.
Yes - from Graham Way, Victoria Street and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider South Wales.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Victoria Street and Glebeland Street run a canopy, filters and a fan and often carry a heavy grease load for their size. We clean and certify them the same way as a full restaurant system.
Yes. Where a filter is warped, corroded or a mesh type that keeps passing grease, we say so and swap it - common on the older Victoria Street takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
Yes. Most venues we clean around Graham Way and Victoria Street are busy through the evening, so we work overnight, early mornings or on closing days, at no extra charge for out-of-hours work.
Every clean finishes with a dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs and a condition report - the evidence a Graham Way operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
